@nprofile…x6gf @nprofile…a5jf @nprofile…p50y @nprofile…zymt @nprofile…jehg that doesn't matter because BTC is almost infinitely divisible. if keys are lost the value of the remaining amount increases correspondingly. this is no different than if someone had cash stored in their mattress and it caught on fire. in that case the bank simply prints more cash. in the case of btc, they can't "print" more but the remaining amount can be divided more and more finely so that it doesn't cause any liquidity problems

alex jones is putting out (not just platforming, but promoting) fake UFO disinfo. "dark journalist" promotes pics and footage of supposed UFOs that look fake as hell and alex goes along with it.
it reminds me of when they were rigging the 2020 election and he had on steve pieczenik the """former""" CIA disinfo guy to put out the "watermarked ballots" qanon hoax.
this UFO video is obviously 100% fake and gay. you can tell something is not right within 2 seconds.
i'm not saying alex is directly working for the intelligence agencies but for some reason he gives them a platform at certain times when they want to put a narrative out to distract conspiritards
